Report: N.Y. Jet Winslow masturbating in car before arrest

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Embarrassing new details have emerged about New York Jets tight end Kellen Winslow Jr.’s Nov. 19 arrest for synthetic marijuana possession in East Hanover, N.J., reports CBS New York.

 

On the night of the arrest, a witness recalls seeing Winslow, 30, masturbating in his car with his window open outside of a local Target store, as reported by the Newark Star-Ledger.

“As she exited her vehicle, she commented to the male regarding how cold it was,” the police report said, according to the Star-Ledger. “As she stood near the open driver side window of the Escalade, she observed the males (sic) erect penis. She stated that she believed he was masturbating. (The woman) provided a written statement regarding her account.”

Winslow pleaded guilty last week to possession of a controlled dangerous substance. The tight end did not, however, face any lewdness charges.

The Jets released a statement on Jan. 9: “We are aware of the situation. This is a pending legal matter and we will have no further comment.”

The police report stated Winslow was wearing clothes but was “slouched in his seat and moving around” and had “two open containers of Vaseline on his center console” when officers got to the scene, according to the Star-Ledger. He explained to police he was trying to find a Boston Market restaurant, the paper reported.

After Winslow consented to a search of his vehicle, the Star-Ledger reported officers finding containers of synthetic marijuana labeled “Funky Monkey” and “Mr. Happy.”

Winslow served a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy earlier in the season. He will be an unrestricted free agent this off-season.
